Health is mostly on Fridays, although it may change if we miss a day due to weather or a holiday or if there is a special event.
During the months of September and October, students will be addressing safety. In May and June, students will be addressing the Human Growth and Development strand of the Health Curriculum. Please feel free to contact me, Ms. Ingalls, should you have any questions or concerns.
All handouts will be posted on the wiki. Home discussion and class discussion are encouraged.
Term 3: Ms. Ingalls Human Growth and Development class
